If I can be quite honest for a moment — I don’t actually particularly like the beer styles served here. Under other circumstances I would have skipped this one. So why did I come here? (1) Because it was right around the corner from the previous brewery, and (2) because it looked freaking awesome.

This brewery is more of a restaurant, but there was a very small bar in the back where I plopped down. As I was looking over the beer menu the bartender mentioned that they had just put a new Hefeweizen on, so I went with that, and it was quite good. I neglected, however, to ask for a smaller pour, so what I received meant that I was in for a longer stay than I expected. :)

An early draft of my itinerary had me continuing southwest from here to Clutch Brewing and Summit Brewing, but I had cut those long ago because they would have prevented me from reaching where I wanted to end the evening before closing time. My new route instead took me west-northwest, with Burning Brothers Brewing as my next planned stop.

Unfortunately, checking the timing of the impending blizzard, it became clear I was going to have to make some cuts if I was going to make it back to the hotel before heavy snow started. Checking the current online tap lists, I made the difficult decision to cut Burning Brothers from the route. :(
